Sleep disorders in children with Tourette syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at sleep disorders in children with Tourette syndrome. Your child will have their sleep patterns checked, and the results may help doctors better understand and treat sleep problems in children with tics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a diagnosis of Tourette syndrome (a condition that causes tics).
- They need to be between 6 and 17 years old and not about to move to adult services.
- Your child must already be under Evelina London Children's Hospital for sleep problems.
- They should have had a sleep study (called PSG) recently, within about 6 months, and done it correctly.
- You (the parent or guardian) must agree to take part, and your child must also be willing and able to agree.
- Your child must not have other long-term medical conditions that would affect participation.

This study follows teens with chronic tic disorders (like Tourette syndrome) for a few years to understand how their symptoms and social life change. It also looks at brain signals using EEG, but you can join the main study even if you can't do the EEG part.
This study looks at brain activity and how sensory experiences feel in adults with Tourette syndrome. It compares you to carefully matched adults without neurologic or psychiatric conditions to understand what is different in the brain.
This study looks at sensory symptoms in adults who have Tourette syndrome or similar long-term tic disorders. Your answers to questionnaires may help researchers understand these symptoms and how they relate to the condition.
This study tracks how tics and related symptoms change over time in people with Tourette Syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help develop better treatments.
This study follows adults with Tourette syndrome over time to better understand how stressors affect symptoms and daily life. It may help researchers learn what factors make symptoms better or worse and improve future care.
This study tests a behavioral therapy (CBIT) for children with tics. It uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to see how the therapy works. It may be a good fit for a child who has had tics for at least a year and hasn't had much of this therapy before.
